Method

  • 1
    Clean moulds with hot soapy water and a soft sponge & dry thoroughly (preferably leave for 5-10 hours prior to use in a dry environment, to ensure moulds are completely dry).
  • 2
    Using a small brush or light mist spray, oil the candy moulds.
  • 3
    In a small bowl add leaf gelatine & half the cold water, leave for 5-10 minutes to allow the gelatine to soften and absorb the water.
  • 4
    In a small pan add the corn syrup, caster sugar and remaining water, bring to the boil and simmer until all sugar is fully dissolved.
  • 5
    Remove pan from heat and mix in the freeze-dried fruit powder until fully dispersed, add the gelatine water and citric acid return to a gentle heat, lightly stirring with only a spoon to avoid generating bubbles until gelatine has fully dissolved.
  • 6
    Allow to cool for 5 minutes and stirring smoothly as not to create bubbles but frequently to prevent a skin forming.
  • 7
    Heat for approx. 1 minute on a medium heat stirring after the first 30 seconds then every 15 seconds approx.
  • 8
    Remove pan from heat and allow to cool, stirring lightly but frequently taking care to not generate any additional bubbles within the mix.
  • 9
    Using a pipette or small jug fill pre oiled moulds to ¾ full, let candy sit for 30 minutes then transfer to a refrigerator for a further 30 minutes.
  • 10
    Remove candies from moulds and allow to stand for 48 hours then turn over and allow to stand for another 24-48 hours (until texture is to required chewiness) then transfer to an air tight container.
